Hi

You should only have to set format to DRIVES, because the drives normally
compress as default. You can also use AITC, which means AIT compressed. You
don't have to set Estimated capacity, but if you want to do this, set it to
what the tape can hold with compression(think it's 100GB with compression
on AIT-2).

Hi everybody

TSM 3.7.4 (upgrading soon bA)
DRIVES SONY SDX-xxx
TAPES AIT1 or AIT2

Using DEVCLASS 8MMCLASS1

1) Which parameter do we have to use to make the
COMPRESSION made HARDWARE
2) Which "Format" to use, the default is "DRIVE" ...
BUT I think that it's remains not compressed. What
about AIT, AITC ?

3) Which ESTIMATED SIZE to use  ?

Thank you !!
Michel
